Hawk Visit

As I was reading the morning news the other day, I was startled by a small bird hitting the window. Always sad when that happens, but when I looked up I saw a larger bird land on the top of our fence. The hawk that was chasing the small bird was nervous about coming closer to the house. But it was still interested in the small bird … it hung around for a bit, but eventually flew off. But not before I had time to get my camera out and snap a few shots. I spent a bunch of time trying to determine if it was a Cooper’s Hawk or a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. My best guess (but still a guess) is Sharp-Shinned.
